【禁闻】"启蒙的艺术"开展 文艺仍被打压

【新唐人2011年4月5日讯】德国三大博物馆和中国国家博物馆联合举办《启蒙的艺术》
展览，在主办方的故乡----德国，媒体如何看待这样的展出？欧洲历史上的「启蒙运动
」是什么？大陆艺术家们的现况又如何？请看详细报导。

由德国柏林国家博物馆、德累斯顿国家艺术收藏馆、巴伐利亚国家绘画收藏馆与中国国
家博物馆，联合举办的名为《启蒙的艺术》展览，已经在4月2号对公众开放。在为期一
年的展览过程中，将有近600件雕塑、油画、图书、服饰、家俱等文物，来展现欧洲「
启蒙运动」的历史、艺术和影响。为配合展览，主办双方还将举行多种讨论和对话的活
动。

德累斯顿国家艺术收藏馆馆长罗特博士（Roth）："这个展览就像一次跟我们的中国朋
友、中国参观者的对话。"

起源于18世纪欧洲的「启蒙运动」提出：「以人为中心」、「理性认识世界」，表现在
社会中的精神主要是「民主和人权」。「启蒙运动」中，著名的法国哲学家伏尔泰提倡
自由平等，他曾说过："我不同意你说的每一个字，但是我誓死捍卫你说话的权利。"

欧洲「启蒙运动」深刻的影响到西方社会近300年来的政治、经济和文化等多个领域。
美国著名政治家本杰明佛兰克林，和汤玛斯杰弗逊把民主、共和的理念，也写入了《美
国独立宣言》中去。

在一党专制的中国展现"启蒙的艺术"，德国媒体一片哗然。《南德意志报》分析
说，"当中共可以将作家监禁十年之久，可以越来越多的管制互联网，可以在北京王府
井让国安的便衣殴打外国记者时，中共的党魁们当然愿意展示自己的所谓开放胸怀、对
西方的『启蒙'展现所谓的宽容态度。"

就在这个展览开幕后的第二天上午--4月3号，大陆艺术家艾未未出境时在首都机场受
阻，这是继今年1月，他上海的工作室被强拆后，再次受到当局的打压。

去年秋天在德国巡回交流的大陆作家廖亦武，最近也收到官方通牒，不许出访美国、澳
大利亚。

廖亦武："这么多年，我的写作方向，他们（中共）认为始终是个问题，这个问题直到
现在也没解决。3月28号，突然就是改变了一种说法，就说不准出国。"

事实上，中共从1949年以后，就全面开始迫害有独立思想的知识份子、艺术家、作
家，到文革中达到高潮。在文革中文艺界被迫害死的名人能够列出一份长长的名单。而
近30年来，被整肃、打压的作家就有刘宾雁、记者师涛、艺术家艾未未等多人。近
期，南方报业的著名时政评论员长平，却是以"休学术假"的名义，被开除了。

而中国著名的雕塑家张昆仑在记录片《超越红墙》（Beyond the Red Wall）中，也陈
述了自己被中共迫害的亲身经历。

张昆仑（原山东艺术学院雕塑研究所所长）："我就是告诉大家法轮大法电台将在
2000年开播而被关�警察局。我遭受酷刑折磨，被电棍电击。我被打得很厉害，我的腿
被打伤，衣服被撕坏。皮肤被电焦，疼痛难忍。"

大陆网友表示，"欧洲的启蒙运动精神最重要的部分为：对公共事务的参与精神、自由
民主等理念，中共当局对艺术家严厉的打压，有违启蒙的精神。"

『Art of Enlightenment' Opens in Beijing

'Art of Enlightenment' exhibit opens in Beijing,organized by German and
Chinese museums.How does the German media view the event?What is the
European 『Enlightenment movement'?What is the situation with the Chinese
artists?

State museums in Berlin, Dresden and Munich,together with the National
Museum of Chinaopened the yearlong 'Art of Enlightenment'exhibition in
Beijing on April 2.Nearly 600 pieces of sculpture, painting, clothingand
furniture showcase the history and artsof the European Enlightenment
movement.Forums and discussions will be hosted as well.

Director Roth of Dresden State Museum saidthat the show is like dialog with
Chinese visitors.

The European Enlightenment movementemerged in the 18th century, and was
basedon humanity and rational thinking.It inspired ideas of democracy and
human rights.French Enlightenment writer Voltaire said,"I may not agree
with what you have to say,but I'll defend to death your right to say it."

Enlightenment has influenced the Westfor 300 years in politics, economy,
and culture.American politicians Franklin and Jeffersonincluded the ideal
of democracy and the republicin the Declaration of Independence.

Showing Enlightenment art in dictatorial Chinastirred up German media.Sued
Deutsche newspaper said thatthe Chinese regime jails writers, censors the
web,and has its plainclothes security beat reporters.But the regime is
certainly willing to showopenness and tolerance to the West.

A day after the exhibit opened, Chinese artistAi Weiwei was detained at the
airport on April 3.His Shanghai workshop was recently dismantled .

Writer Liao Yiwu, who visited Germany last year,was deprived of the right
to travel abroad.

Liao: "Over the years, my writing is seenas a problem, this issue still
isn't resolved.On March 28, they told me I cannot go abroad."

Since 1949, the Chinese Communist Partyhas suppressed intellectuals and
artists.Persecution peaked during Cultural Revolution,with a long list of
artists killed.Over the last 30 years, many intellectualshave been
suppressed, include writer Liu Binyan,reporter Shi Tao, and artist Ai
Weiwei.Recently, well-known commentator Chang Pingwas removed from South
Media Group.

Chinese sculptor Zhang Kunlun, featured inthe documentary 『Beyond the Red
Wall',described his experience under the persecution.

Zhang, former director of Shandong Art Institute:"I was arrested for
telling people aboutthe Falun Dafa broadcasting station.I was severely
tortured with electric batons.They beat me badly, broke my leg, tore my
clothes.My skin was burnt, the pain was unbearable."

A Chinese blogger said thatEuropean Enlightenment promotespublic
participation, freedom and democracy.The Chinese regime suppresses
artists,and violates the spirit of enlightenment.
